How did a chubby, moustachioed plumber achieve the status of a global icon?
«I weep for Adonais—he is dead! / Oh, weep for Adonais! though our tears / Thaw not the frost which binds so dear a head! / And thou, sad Hour, selected from all years / To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers, / And teach them thine own sorrow, say: "With me / Died Adonais; till the Future dares / Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be / An echo and a light unto eternity!» (Percy Bysshe Shelley, Adonais: An elegy on the death of Jhon Keats, 1821)

To mourn our loss, rouse thy obscure compeers,
And teach them thine own sorrow, say: "With me
Died Adonais; till the Future dares
Forget the Past, his fate and fame shall be
An echo and a light unto eternity!"»

[Piango per Adone – lui è morto! / Oh, si pianga per Adone! benché le nostre lacrime / Non discioglieranno il gelo che accercina sì amato capo! / E tu, mesta ora, scelta fra tutti gli anni / A lamentar la nostra perdita, desta i tuoi oscuri compari, / E insegna loro il tuo dolore, dì: con me / Morto è Adone; affinché il futuro non osi / Obliar il passato, suo destino e fama devon essere / Un'eco una luce per l'eternità!]

TingShan Tsai 當年我們發行伍迪艾倫的《強力春藥》，片名居然不通過 ，吵了好久，後來我改成《非強力春藥》，居然通過了。數周來新聞炒熱了，此外成為創下伍迪艾倫影片在台的高票房紀錄，還得拜這些豬隊友之賜，今逢今豬年，祝大家諸事吉祥！

DON’T ASK, DON’T TELL The front desk of the suddenly rediscovered Mayflower Hotel.
THE doormen and bellhops in white gloves and dark brown suits at the soaring Mayflower Hotel have come to recognize the subtle signs: attractive women who carry no luggage, dressed tastefully but, in stilettos and lacy camisoles, seeming a touch too sensual to meet a chubby Commerce Committee lobbyist for cocktails.
Sometimes they walk straight to the elevators. If it is after 10 p.m., a security guard might stop them, leading to an awkward conversation, but a discreet call upstairs usually sets minds at ease.
More often, these women, who earn $500 to $5,000 an hour attending to guests, slip onto a stool at the wood-paneled Town & Country Lounge in the lobby and order a club soda with lime; no elaborate drinks, because the client will appear within minutes to usher them to a handsomely appointed room.

In an example of anasyrma, it depicts a partially-draped woman,[2] raising her light peplos[3] to uncover her hips and buttocks, and looking back and down over her shoulder, perhaps to evaluate them.

希腊的爱神？像中，专门有一尊表示臀部美丽的，名叫Aphrodite kallipygos。Aphrodite是爱神的名字，通行的译法是阿福罗提忒，而kalli是希腊文的美字，pygos则是屁股之意义，有人将这美臀 的雕像直译为佳丽屁股，果然音义巧合，真是聪明。(潘光旦譯)
